March 19, 2014Need To Hear: Ex Hex

Recently signed to local label Merge Records, Ex Hex are a fantastic new band that I’ve recently fallen in love with. Yesterday they released their first single, ‘Hot And Cold’, along with B-Sides ‘Waterfall’ and ‘Everywhere.’ I’d describe their sound as Sleater-Kinney-meets-Black Lips: catchy riffs, post-punk attitude, and expressive vocals. (Note: Ex Hex might also be able to fill the Vivian Girls-shaped hole in your heart.)

Each of their three released tracks are outstanding, and I can hardly wait for them to make their debut LP. While you may not have been familiar with the name Ex Hex before reading this article, you’ll soon be hearing it all over.
